Is it true that … male pattern baldness is inherited from the mother?

Male pattern baldness is surprisingly influenced by genes inherited from both parents, particularly the X chromosome's androgen receptor gene. While this gene accounts for up to 70% of the condition, it's actually a complex interplay between genetic factors from both parents and hormonal processes. Hormonal changes, such as those triggered by diet deficiencies or stress, can exacerbate hair loss. For readers concerned about their hair health, blood tests might help clarify whether the issue is genetic or hormonal, offering pathways for management or understanding future trends in hair loss.
